Taking a break in Jasper today doing laundry and catching up on bushiness after five days hiking the Skyline trail in Jasper National Park Alberta. The Skyline is the most popular trail in the park, and for good reason. The 44km trail is mostly above treeline and affords fabulous views of the surrounding ranges, that is if you can see them. My five day trip encountered plenty of cloud cover constant showers and gale force winds. Fortunately while camped in the most scenic alpine valley on the route I was treated to one day of good weather and light, although it was still incredibly windy. The above photo was made while relaxing in the evening near Tekarra camp.
Tomorrow or the next day depending on weather and backcountry permit availability I while start on the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. I’ll be spending five or six days there photographing the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies and the surrounding area.
